Vans x DQM “Wovens” Collection

Made exclusively for DQM, the “Wovens” collection is comprised of an Era and a Sk8-Hi in rust and black suede, and introduces a new diamond woven suede material for the quarter which was completely woven by hand. Suede – the most durable and dependable material for skate shoes – was used throughout the upper of the shoe. The duo features ‘The Vans DQM General’ branding throughout each silhouette: a custom woven label at the tongue, a printed logo on the two-tone insole, and The General’s signature navy heel tab. Produced in a limited edition run, the Era and Sk8-Hi will be available exclusively at The Vans DQM General in SoHo at New York and in the DQM online store
